    # ensure that no reblogs of discarded statuses are created, as this cannot be
    # enforced through DB constraints the same way as reblogs of deleted statuses
    #
    # We redefine the internal method responsible for issuing the `INSERT`
    # statement and replace the `INSERT INTO ... VALUES ...` query with an `INSERT
    # INTO ... SELECT ...` query with a `WHERE deleted_at IS NULL` clause on the
    # reblogged status to ensure consistency at the database level.
    #
    # The code is kept similar to ActiveRecord::Persistence code and calls it
    # directly when we are not handling a reblog.

      # which means we have to build the `SELECT` clause ourselves and do a bit more
      # manual work.
